Experience of the stay
When I stayed at 'Grids Tokyo Ueno Station Hotel & Hostel', I was surprised by its convenience and comfort. The fact that it's just a 2-minute walk from Ueno Station’s Iriya Exit made moving with luggage completely stress-free and very helpful.
The facility has a simple yet stylish design that impresses, perfectly blending the comfort of a hotel with the friendliness of a hostel. Especially at the café space on the first floor, I could enjoy a leisurely time and also have a little interaction with other guests.
Furthermore, Ueno Park and Ameyoko are within walking distance, making it ideal as a base for sightseeing. During my stay, I was able to fully experience the local culture and vibrant streets, and naturally thought, 'I want to come back here again'.
Experiences during the trip
During my stay at 'Grids Tokyo Ueno Station Hotel & Hostel', I ventured out to Akihabara and visited the gachapon corner inside the station. For someone like me who loves gachapon, it was like paradise, and I ended up spending about 2000 yen, but I was completely satisfied with my favorite items! On the way back, I took a leisurely stroll to Ueno. I enjoyed the bustling atmosphere of Ameyoko that I stopped by along the way, as well as the local shops tucked away in the alleys, making for a truly Tokyo-like travel experience. The excellent access from the accommodation was also a pleasant point.
